Count Drakenhoff
Count Drakenhoff was one of the mortal generals who lead the assault on Lord Aiden's Mansion during the Purge.
According to the legend, Drakenhoff dealt the final blow to Lord Aiden. As a reward for killing one of the last remaining Paragons, Drakenhoff was rewarded with a gift of immortality and became a vampire. He was given all of Lord Aiden's lands and possessions, and took up residence in Paragon's mansion.
He has resided there up until about 300 years ago, when his vampiric condition was revealed. This resulted in a holy crusade being launched, and lead by clerics and palladins of Tempus. The crusade culminated in a siege of the mansion. Even though he was a powerful vampire and master of magic, Drakenhoff could not face an army of holy fighters by himself. In a desperate attempt to even the odds, he offered his gifts to his servants and staff. Among those who took the gift was Summers Familly. Those who refused the gift were drained to fuel the newly created fledgling vampires, although children were spared.
Despite this desperate move, Count Drakenhoff lost the battle, and the holy army took the mansion. The sole survivor of the siege was Samuel Summers who was hidden in a casket of wine in the cellar.
